The convict and his three cousins Sooraj Santosh and Krish allegedly murdered Ashok and the elderly guard-cum-caretaker of a farmhouse on the outskirts of Chhat village, Zirakpur. Both victims had been hit on the head with a blunt object.
The incident came to light the next morning when Fazuldin’s son Rajesh Khan, who works as a driver, came to the farmhouse.
According to the police, Ashok had murdered Ajay over an alleged illicit relationship with his wife.
